Hogan Assessments

Setting The Standard

Why Hogan?

It is a daunting task to find the personality assessment provider that addresses your unique business challenges.

Hogan has more than 30 years of experience providing cutting-edge assessment and consulting solutions to some of the world’s largest companies, including over half the Fortune 500.

Because the assessment industry is largely unregulated, the market is flooded with cheap, ineffective assessments that claim to measure personality but have no foundation in personality psychology or supporting evidence. Therefore, careful selection of assessment tools is essential to success – otherwise it’s just money down the drain.

At Hogan, we pride ourselves on the science behind the assessments that drive our powerful talent solutions. We strive to be as transparent as possible so you can be confident in selecting the right product for your business needs.
